CPS Barnstaple

Posts: 2 Newbie
Yesterday, after a hard day at work, I returned to my car, parked in a private car park in Barnstaple, to find a PCN on the windscreen. The company is called Creative Parking Solutions (anyone have any experience of them?)
The thing is, I bought a ticket that morning and it had blown off the inside of my windscreen. I have the flaming ticket here in front of me and even had a witness to me buying the ticket as I had taken a colleague to work that morning!
Question is....do I now just ignore? Or do I write to them sending a photocopy of the ticket, or will they just say I am still liable cos they couldn't see the ticket.
It kind of goes against the grain to ignore it and I want to shove my ticket, along with their ticket where the sun don't shine!
Binks.

This barrister: http://timkevan.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/challenge-to-private-parking-charge.html did a good job of telling them where to shove it!... The company is called Creative Parking Solutions (anyone have any experience of them?) ...
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -

I have seen Tim's post.
I just don't know whether to reply or not. The ticket had blown onto the centre console of my car, but obviously was not glaringly obvious enough to them!0 -

Nope. You are not liable to pay and you must not 'appeal' either (as if!!). This is a private company with an unsolicited invoice, dressed up to impersonate a parking ticket.
Replying is not appealing, it's falling into their trap and giving them information about who was driving and that you actually seem to think it's a real parking ticket. They will think 'oh good here's a real person who might just pay if we send some official-looking letters'.
It's just a scam, ignore it as long as it's not a company, hire or leased car. The registered keeper will get some letters anyway so no point giving them info.
Tick off the threatening letters Here.

HTHPRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
